Applying for a work permit in the Cayman Islands requires a few key items that both employers and employees must keep in mind.
If you are an employer in the Cayman Islands and you are seeking professional immigration consulting services in the Cayman Islands, you must meet the following requirements before hiring an employee who requires a work permit.
- Work permit application
- 1 full-face passport sized photograph
- Police Certificate (from the country you lived in for the past 6 months)
- Original medical questionnaire (form part of application) with doctor’s signature and stamp no more than 3 years old

Are you an potential employee interested in working in the Cayman Islands? Before you can apply for a work permit you will need to find a company/employer who is willing and able to hire you. Work permits and applications are always covered in cost by your potential employer, never the employee, this is against the Cayman Islands Labor Laws. One of the most important items to keep in mind is that in the Cayman Islands your work history and experience determines what type of job you will be approved to have on island. If the job you are applying for does not match your work experience and qualifications, your work permit application will most likely get denied.
While it may seem exciting to work and live on an island in the Caribbean, it is important you do you research before you make the leap to make sure you are able to get a job in your field. Visit the caymanresident.com for more information how to work in the Cayman Islands.
